    “My notebook has remained blank for months thanks to the light you shower around me. I have no use for my pen, which lies languorously without grief. Nothing is better than to live a story less life that needs no writing for meaning— when I am gone, let other say they lost a happy man, though no one can tell how happy I was.”
